we see britain, we see greece. we worry that there isn't growth elsewhere. in emerging market there's hot growth. you're part of the 36% who doesn't think the u.s. economy will do well. you're worried about some parts of the global economy. how do i tap into those places really growing? >> you want to buy an emerging markets fund. if you look at asia and parts of latin america, it is a powerful story. the transfer of wealth, the growth of the middle class. they are where we were in the 1950s. you would buy something like the lazard emerging markets fund. either one of those are good but they are a cadillac of emerging markets investing and they do their research and they're in the good geographies and the growth is powerful and long term. >> when you say they're like we were, they're buying things, consumption is still high in a lot of these places. >> we have a lot of debt at the consumer level and the federal level. they are growing their wealth. they have high savings. they're now buying tooth paste and technology and computers and they're building roads.

that this was craziness for britain to do it and it was the pity of war. wait a minute. that historian was niall ferguson. >> yes, before wend the rebuttal portion of this deba, i'd like to allow dr. kissinger the last word. >> i don't know whether one can reverse the order of participants up here, because i think it's three to one against my friend niall. our chinese friend is saying that china has suffered a great deal, has been provoked through a ntury of western exploitations and that it's not trying to dominate the world. as i understand what he is saying it is this -- when the west wants to discuss climate or the financial assistance, our tendency is to say china can be a stakeholder. it can be a participant in a system they did not themselves participate in creating. so the issue is whether it is possible to create an international system in which china participates in the creation of it without dominating it. this is really what we're debating here. and if i understand the observations of our chinese colleague, he's not saying that china will dominate the world.
